Title: Image forming apparatus
Inventor: ABE TAKUYA
IPC: G03G15/16
Filed: 1995-10-03
Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a transfer drum (11) which attracts and holds a transfer paper electrostatically. A voltage is applied to a conductive layer provided on an inner side of the transfer drum (11), and a grounded conductive electrode member (12) is pressed against a dielectric layer provided on an outer side of the transfer drum through the transfer paper (P). A toner image formed on a photosensitive drum (15) is transferred onto the transfer paper when the transfer paper is wound around the transfer drum (11) and brought into contact with the photosensitive drum (15). The image forming apparatus further includes a member which charges the transfer paper in a polarity reversed to a polarity of the transfer drum (11), so that the transfer drum (11) can attract the transfer sheet electrostatically in a satisfactory manner. The image forming apparatus further includes a mechanism for removing the charges on the surface of the transfer drum (11) and cleaning the surface of the transfer drum so as to eliminate defects in a transferred image, thereby upgrading the quality of a resulting image.

Abstract: Procédé de traitement des eaux d'égout à l'aide de boues activées en suspension, selon lequel on introduit les eaux d'égout dans un bassin d'égalisation puis on les transfère par pompage dans un bassin d'activation d'où on les fait passer dans un bassin de post-décantation après le processus de clarification. A la suite de la décantation des boues restantes, les eaux sont évacuées. Le processus d'activation s'interrompt automatiquement lorsque le niveau des eaux d'égout dans le bassin d'égalisation descend au-dessous d'un niveau minimal prédéterminé, et on évacue par pompage les boues excédentaires du bassin d'activation. On interrompt le pompage des boues et on relance le processus d'activation une fois que le niveau des eaux d'égout est de nouveau supérieur au niveau de fonctionnement prédéterminé.

Abstract: The equipment has a plate-type housing (1) with an observation window (6) at the front, behind which is a shaft-type compartment (5) accommodating one or more data sheets. A marking device at the front includes a transverse slide (11) travelling parallel to one side of the window, and on which a cross-slide (13) is mounted. The transverse slide has a slide-shoe (14) at one end only, and which is positively accommodated in a guide along the side of the compartment. From this shoe a straight-edge (12) protrudes, being free at the other end. The transverse slide and the guide can each have two components (15,16,17,19) engaging together, and which are spaced apart in the side-ways direction for less than the shoe dimension at right angles to this direction.

Abstract: A thermally enhanced ball grid array package for electronic components, with an electronic and a plurality of ceramic component carriers bonded to a metal heat sink, enhances thermal performance, reduces solder ball fatigue and reduces stresses between the ceramic component carriers and the heat sink. Bonding the ceramic component carriers to the heat sink reduces expansion induced stresses of the solder balls on the carriers. Plural ceramic component carriers, smaller than a single carrier would have to be for the same package, reduce stresses at the interfaces between the ceramic component carriers and the heat sink.

Abstract: An ink jet type recording head composed of a plurality of head units and having a large number of nozzles without greatly increasing the width of the recording head. Outer walls (1a, 1b) of a spacer 1 of the head unit are inclined at an angle θ with respect to the arrangement lines A-A, B-B of pressure generating chambers (2, 3). A plurality of head units (e.g., 40, 41) are arranged so that end surfaces of the head units in the arrangement direction of the pressure generating chambers (2, 3) are adjacent to each other. The head units are fixed to a base board (28) such that they are shifted in a direction roughly perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the pressure generating chambers (2, 3) and so that an interval between the pressure generating chambers (2, 3) of the adjacent head units is the same as the pitch between the pressure generating chambers (2, 3) on each individual head unit. Accordingly, it is possible to arrange the nozzle openings of the plurality of head units at a uniform pitch even over several head units and nonetheless maintain the width of the entire recording head as narrow as possible.

Abstract: To select a designated bottle in a sampler, the distributor is calibrated as to position and the outlet of the distributor arm is moved over the desired bottle by counting changes in incremental angular movement of the distributor arm until it is over the bottle. The position of the distributor arm is recorded in memory. To calibrate the distributor, the arm is rotated against a stop member in a first direction, then in a second direction and the overrun of in excess of 360 degrees of the motion of the distributor arm is determined and corrected. A series of random numbers is generated for depositing of samples, the distributor is moved at designated times over the bottles in a random order to deposit a sample and the ordering of bottles is recorded. The rollers of a peristaltic pump are supported to prevent said rollers from compressing said tube more than the thickness of the walls of the tube. A functional module for a bubbler or pH probe or ultrasonic level detector may be connected to the housing.

Abstract: The picture quality of an MPEG-encoded video signal is improved considerably by reducing the coefficients after quantization in such a way that the 'Lagrangian cost' D+μR (D is distortion, R is bitrate) is minimal for a given value of the 'Lagrange multiplier' μ. The distortion decreases because the step size is reduced while the bitrate remains equal.

Abstract: The missile has a body made up of two (10,12) or more interlocking end-joined sections of circular cross-section. When assembled, there is no difference in the outer diameter of the assembly in the interface zone. A tubular flange interface between the two sections is sub-divided into two arcs (14,18,16,20) as seen in cross-section. The inner face of the body within the first arc is of reduced thickness, and receives the matching face of the second section. The interlocking outer diameter of the second section is reduced at the interface to provide for a non-distortion push-fit. The interface within the second arc of the assembled body is a reversal of that in the first arc. The assembled and interlocked interface flanges are then held in place by bolts inserted through radial holes (22,24) in the flanges.

Abstract: Provision is made of a carrier for holding a piece film cut every after several frames and a carrier for holding a long wound film contained in a cartridge and having a motor for frame-feeding. When the carrier is loaded, the carrier is driven at a high speed by a first stepping motor and is driven to a predetermined position, to optically detect whether the carrier is for holding the piece film or for holding the long wound film. When the carrier is for holding the piece film, the carrier is driven at a high speed by the first stepping motor and is prescanned. When the carrier is for holding the long wound film, the carrier is driven by a second stepping motor and is prescanned. In the main scanning, both of the carriers are driven by the second stepping motor at a low speed, so that image is read maintaining a high resolution.

Separation can be facilitated by also adding an emulsion breaker and/or applying an electric field. Gasified fuel 16 containing water vapour and sulfur compounds is cooled 3, 5, 6 to a temperature below the temperature at which water vapour condenses, said cooling including contact with a saturating heat exchanger 5, then converted 7 to a desulfurized gasified fuel by being brought into contact with an adsorbent, the desulfurized gasified fuel 21 thereafter being heated by contact with said saturating heat exchanger while having water 24 added thereto, before use, e.g. in a gas turbine 8.
